The following tasks are anticipated as part of the project: 1. Design, manufacturing, shop testing, on-site assembly, and on-site testing of a 165-ton multi-hoist gantry crane with fully enclosed trolley and gantry mounted, enclosed operating cab. 2. Work also will include design, manufacturing, and installation of all below-the-hook lifting devices such as the main hoist lifting beam, secondary lifting beam, and clamshell bucket. The main hoist lifting beam and secondary beam will be required to contain self-actuating gate latches. 3. Electrical work will include installation of new 480v feeders to run crane motor and controls. 4. Existing multi-purpose gantry crane, which includes a 110 ton hoist and a 75 ton hoist, will be deconstructed from the dam intake deck and removed from the site via floating plant or other acceptable means.
